Great Seller
CD was in better condition than described. Shipped fast. It don't get any better than this seller.The Big Chill cd
good cd although missing "Heard it Through the Grapevine". Arrived on timed and well packaged.Tell Him by the Exciters
"The Big Chill" is a nice soundtrack CD, but I bought it for one tune: Tell Him by the Exciters. You just can't get that tune anywhere else.vietnam era memory
Good movie - songs are from the Viet Nam era and the movie depicts the aftermath of college students of that era. I am one of them.You Can't Always Get What You Want
This is the first of two soundtrack CDs issued for the movie "The Big Chill" (the other being The Big Chill: More Songs From The Original Soundtrack) and it contains the more prominent of the songs used in the film including:
"I Heard it Through the Grapevine" - this is the song played during the opening titles.
"Joy to the World" - this is the song played during the credits.
"Ain't Too Proud to Beg" - the song playing when the yuppies dance around the kitchen.
All of the songs from the film that are missing from this CD can be found on the other CD, mentioned above, with the exception of "You Can't Always Get What You Want" - the Rolling Stones song played at the funeral. This song is sorely missed from these soundtrack albums and its omission is apparently due to the fact that the Rolling Stones do not allow their songs to be included on albums other than their own. For people trying to obtain this song, it can be found on a number of Rolling Stones CDs including Let It Bleed [DSD]. Even without this song, however, this is still a great CD containing some of the best songs of the Big Chill era.Album Description
Part of the Motown Remasters series. UK reissue of the classic 60's soundtrack to the 1983 hit movie.Amazon.com
Motown just keeps packaging and repackaging those classic '60s hits. But whether you're looking for a souvenir of Lawrence Kasdan's movie or just another Motown sampler, you could do a lot worse than the Big Chill soundtrack --which also throws in a dab of Three Dog Night ("Joy to the World") and Aretha Franklin ("(You Make Me Feel Like a) Natural Woman") and even Procul Harum ("Whiter Shade of Pale"). Many of the choices are pretty obvious--Marvin Gaye's "Heard it Through the Grapevine," Smokey Robinson and the Miracles' "My Girl"... but they are great songs. And a few aren't quite so overexposed, like the Temptations' "Ain't Too Proud to Beg" or the CD bonus track of the Marvelettes' "Too Many Fish in the Sea." Nothing chilly about these tracks. --Jim Emerson
